    Re: Meta MyPlayer Creation Guide [OC]

    Nice guide, I was looking for something like this without going to the cheesy YouTubers for their awful advice. I currently have a 7 foot 1 Center that I like a lot and he does well in MyPark but I have to be really selective of who I team up with.

    I have to always make sure the other team has at least a SF otherwise I'll end up stuck checking a guard and get wrecked because I'm slower than molasses.

    That 6 foot 9 Outside SF looks good, either that or a PG.

    I took this guide in a positive way, it was very helpful and informative. While I do share the sentiments of others and hope 2K goes in a different direction for the future of MyPlayers, Meta builds are definitely important for now.

      The SF is a really fun meta position. Drawback, you HAVE to play with two guards.

      You're dead if you're stuck in a guard position. Can't Dribble, can't get open, can't post spin, can't layup. etc.

              Yeah, like dribbling should be how well you can use moves/create space (Like Harden and Kyrie) but ball control should be, well, ball control lol.

                Just bring back ball security like we had in previous 2ks.

                  Was wholly aware of this, even prior to Patch 6. Quite frankly, I was still fine with running a 6'4 outside SG, because I was able to outplay just everyone matched up against me. Didn't need some 'meta' build to simply be better than my opposition.

                  That is, until I realized 2k removed the crossover launches out of sizeups with Patch 6 after about 15 seconds of practice on MyCourt. Now my guard feels like a SF when handling the ball, and almost as sluggish to boot. So at this point, I'm really not in the mood to go through that idiotic badge grind again to build another player, so I'll probably just ease back until the next game.

                  Still can't grasp the thought that 2k really doesn't know how hard they truly screwed the SG, PF, and to a lesser degree, the SF this year. It's almost amazing to me.

                      Nice article, i pretty much have one of each of those. I tried about 6 or 7 different C builds but in the end i use the 7'3 inside and outside centers 90% of the time. Only other C i kept was 6'9 inside for park. I use the 6'7 inside pg the most at the park for funfactor.

                        At the end he is promoting certain moves such as a crossovers repeatedly up the court? (I know we've all seen everyone doing this during the NBA playoffs right!?? right??? no.)

                        Also, throughout the post he is promoting [certain] play styles and not actually creating others or noting their effectiveness. Also, I disagree with the opinion of uselessness on balanced SF. I totally disagree as my 99 OVR Balanced SF is like.. you know, LeBron James.

                        Good luck to all as I believe, the OP is a former cheeser & exploiter of certain moves and not actually skilled in the fundamentals of basketball or how to teach them!
                        MY BEST ADVICE IS DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE. LEARN MOVES. CHOOSE HEIGHT, WEIGHT, ETC. ON PREFERENCES. BE THE BEST.

                        Keep in mind:
                        Spoiler
                        Did i stumble into fundamental coaching basketball 101 forum or are we still on a video game forum? To ignore the game mechanics does not make u more fundamentally sound.

                        Ideally one should apply their basketball knowledge AND their game mechanics knowledge to help themselves and their team. To ignore one or the other is your folly.

                          That's not entirely possible though with the current MyPlayer system this year.

                          The petition forum here on OS to not bucket the attributes for 2K17 really needs to be noticed and implemented.

                            I averaged 30 PPG, 8 RPG and 12 APG with my balanced, 6'4'' SG. I'd say that's pretty effective and far from disappointing.

                              This is really for park/pro-am, use whatever offline but for online you'll definitely want one of the "meta" builds.

                                Yes, I should've read the OP more thoroughly. Still, I think the some SG builds are viable in MyPark/Pro-Am. Especially Pro-Am, since it seems to be a little less chaotic than MyPark in my experience. PGs are preferable, though. I agree with that.
